how do you go about bleeding the brakes of a 1977 ford f150?

Answer 1

I was taught to bleed the brakes on any thing it's simply a matter of opening the bleeding screws on the front first and then start pouring fluid into the reservoir until it come out of the bleeding screw in a steady stream. I also do the same thing on a hydraulic clutch. Has always worked great for me.

Answer 2

1. Remove the front tires.

2. Carefully loosen the RH bleeder on the caliper

3. Place a container under each caliper

4. Install a small vacuum line on each bleeder

5. Slowly depress the brake pedal all the way to floor - repeat

6. If no fluid - remove the bleeder & clean out the dirt with a drill bit.

7. Allow fluid to completely drain into the container.

8. Refill Master Cyl. with Dot 3 brake fluid.

9. Start with the RF. Open the bleeder. Depress the brake pedal a couple of times. The fluid will gravity bleed. Constantly monitor the fluid level.

10. Once the fluid runs clear, & no bubbles are present, close the bleeder - goto the front right - repeat the procedure at each wheel.
- Then the RR
- Then the LR

11. Check that all bleeders are closed.

12. Check brake pedal is not spongy. If so repeat the procedure.

13. Spray spilled brake fluid with brake clean, or a much cheaper alternative is to by a container of Methyl Hydrate & transfer it to squirt bottle.

14. Install tires & road test

Good Luck
